had no idea why, I just know that is what my body is jonesing for.\u00a0 Today I tweeted about wanting a juicer again.\u00a0 Because I would have had juice over coffee this morning first thing.<\/p>\n<p>Since I don&#8217;t have a juicer, I did the next best thing for breakfast, raw fruit.<\/p>\n<p>I had a nectarine with 2% fage, fruit and nut granola, and a little drizzle of maple syrup.\u00a0 YUM!!\u00a0 My body soaked up that nectarine like it was the last one on earth.<\/p>\n<p>Fortified with nectarine power, I went through and cleaned the house.\u00a0 I just have to vacuum and house clean status will reach complete.<\/p>\n<p>Scott had yet another conference call today, that makes every day this week.\u00a0 Crazy!\u00a0 While he was making the money, I got busy making
